well coming from NF, the scope itself will be good, that much we know, from what i can tell the Vel.1000 retical is pretty much a variant of the horus retical in its many forms. its esentially a fancy milldot. it saves alot of scope dialing and esentially eliminates any need for dialing wind what so ever. make sure you get it in a first focal plane (im not sure what NF offers it in)
some people find them to be to "cluttered" and hard to follow, but after a few outings that should no longer be a worry! took me a few hours to get used to that style of retical but now im not sure if i will ever buy a scope thats a "Standard" cross hair again! im anxiously awaiting my S&B with the H59 retical
